SAVED MY MOTHERS LIFE.

Ever since | can remember. my mother has
suffered from Il milk leg. Nothing would do
her any good. She had the best medical tai
cnt, but they all did her no good. She suffered
with her leg for thirty years aud never knew a
well day. She would have to set up half the
night, holding up her ley and moaning. She
had no peace. She used all the best known
remedies in the country without effect. !
asked her to try your CUTICURA REMEDIES
Got her a bottle of CUTICURA RESOLvENT, and
she took il. and has taken IN all about six or
seven bottles, and now she is well woman
to-day. Her leg Is entirely healed, and her
health was never better. She can go out every
day, something she has not done in ten years,
so you see cannot help stating to you about
your wonderful CUTICURA REMEDIES. You
have saved my mothers life. | cannot find
words to express my gratitude. ! have I'D
vertised your CUTICURA REMEDIES far and
near.

The Toledo Commercial gives some
very sensible advice to the Ohio Legis-
lature. The gist Of the advice ls, that as
the legislature is decidedly republican
in both houses and the republican party
will be held responsible for the action
of the legislature, they should only en-
gage in necessary legislation, dispatch
that quickly and adjourn. 1t especially
directs attention to the satisfactory con-
dition Of the liquor legislation as now
existing, and recommends that the re-
publican party make no changes and
give the law fair trial. There are other
legislative bodies not 10 Ohio to whom
this advice might be given with great
propriety and followed with good re-
suits. Could the legislature OF this state
ever become so imbued with common
sense as to follow out the admirable ad-
vice given by the Commercial, though
not intended for IL, the people OF this
state would have greater occasion for
loud Thanksgiving than they had on yes
terdRy.
THE New York Star, which is certain
~ good democratic authority, admits
that this democratic administration has
practically settled nothing, for 1t says
that the issues are sin no wise diher-
ent" from those OF 1884. II the demo-
Gratis had carried out their platform
pledges of 1884, the issues would not
have been the same, but the Star says
they are the same, and the Star" ought
to know. The democracy promised
economy in the public expenditures and
they have added TO the cost OF the gov
eminent; they promised civil service re-
form, and the civil service has deterior-
ated; they promised q reduction OF rev.
enues, and have kept on piling up the
surplus; they promised reduction OF
taxes, and they are not reduced, and
there is not single reform introduced
into the conduct Of the public business.
They propose to come before the country
In 1888, with the same old straw bond OF
threadbare promise, and expect to carry
the confidence OF the court OF pnblic
opinion, and receive a verdict In favor
of their resumption OF business at the
old stand In the same old perfunctory,
slip-shod and unsatisfactory way.
There is a mighty good chance OF their
getting badly left in their calculations.

If GREW is not q stick he will stick
TO his post until he is forced to retire by
actual demand for his resignation on the
part OF the chambers. Should such de.
mand come then he should still stick,
and compel them to show cause for his
enforced retirement before the close OF
his term of office. Grevy has proved
hitherto a conservative safe president
for the tickle republic and the French
nation cannot afford to retire him at the
demand OF few restless leaders who
find in his continuance 10 office bar to
schemes for mOnarchlal restoration on

Boynton,. Reply to Colonel Fred Grant.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-In regard to the
letter of Colonel +. d. Grant Of February
8 TO Major W. Z. Carroll, OF Baltimore,
General Boyntou says: s.a...
Colonel Grant seems TO forget the publication
of the letters OF General Rawlins and other
facts related thereto was in reply 10 an attack
upon the gentleman connected with the Com
msrcial Gazette Initiated. and conducted by
those who assumed to be the friends OF Gen.
eral Grant, and that 1t was carried on by them
with much bitterness for year anda half He
fergets that it was based upon private let
ter OF Mr. Halstead's, written during the war,
conveying to q Cabinet officer come very start
ling facts in regard to the habits of the com.
manding General on the Mississippi which II
was proper TO communicate, and most impor-
tant to have privately known He seems also
to forget that these pu blshed letters OF General
Rawlins admitted to be correct In the very let
ter which he now condemns, fully establish the
correctness of the essential facts thus privately
made known to Mr.. Chase at the time when
there was ample reason TO fear thatthe might
put in peril the safety of the army.
So long as the newspaper assaults were on
one side, and one side only was dealing in
stolen private letters, and treating them in the
discussion as II the author had opened q public
attack upon the memory OF General Grant the
contest seemed to AFFORD general and
prolonged amusement TO all concerned
in carrying it on, but since those
attacks have turned upon the field with
the conclusive evidence OF the Rawlins letters
upon the main points OF the controversy, there
has been much 10 say of assaults on dead
heroes and OF assassins OF character. The dis
cussion Is not pleasant one, but from the irst
II has been forced by those who assume to he
the friends OF General Grant II has now
reached stage where IL rests with them to say
whether II shall go on until the sorrowful array
OF details, but partially outlinedby the Rawlins
letters, become part OF the unquestioned his
tory OF the war There are countless homes OF
mourning In the land in which, In view OF the
revelations o! those letters, the question will
inevitably arise whether the death shadow did
not fall upon them because OF orders which
should not have been given, or blunders which
u clear head would not have made. There 10
something due 10 these heroes and TO those
who gave them 10 the country. Tue least OF

The italian Massacre In the soudsn.

ROME, Feb. 40 fficial reports have
been received by the government from
Massowah stating that Colonel Boretti,
commanding the Italian troops AT Slau,
discovered at eleven O'Clock on the morn
ing OF Jan uary y that the heights over
looking his camp were occupied by thou
sands of Abvssinians. Borett sent q
party under command OF Lieu
tenant Como TO dislodge the Abys-
snians Lieutenant Como surprised
the enemy and attacked him at once.
The Abyssinians bodily advanced TO meet
the Italians and fought desperately until
five O'Clock in the afternoon, when they
were repulsed with heavy loss and re-
treated from the field. Boretti's losses
were sufficiently heavy TO justify him In
applying for reinforcements, which were
dispatched to him at once. The reinforc-
ing column, commanded by Colonel De-
cristo Foris, met with serious delays,
owing TO the diffic Guilty Of transportation,
and during one of his enforced
halts, Colonel Foris learning that
the force OF Abyssinans he was
likely TO meet was larger than he had
supposed, made application for additional
Ten and guns These were Immediately
sent, but when they arrived at the place
indicated by Colonel Foris as u meeting
place they found that Foris and his entire
command had been massacred. The bodies
of the dead Italians were lying where
they fell. Many of them were badly mu-
tilated.
